I think this could be a really great full-length play and hope that the playwright will keep exploring that possibility. But even as it is, it was an hour well-spent. So glad I went....

Too bad this show closed last night, because it was laugh-out-loud funny, fresh, and extremely inventive. The house was standing room only, for good reason....

I had heard mixed things about EXORCISTIC so I came in somewhat skeptical, but within five minutes I was a total rock musical groupee, following every actor and every word with GLEE.

I have been looking forward to this show since I first heard about it, and I wasn't disappointed.

It's a hour full of TV FUN!!!...
